Blaze The Great Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 (edited) Just a typical FE8 Draft. This draft is for 4(?) players, maybe only 3 if I am told that would be better.

Carmine Sword Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I'll join. I've always wanted to do a draft. What route are we going on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJThom_2009 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 never did a FE8 draft so this will be my first one ever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eclipse Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 You'll want four players. That being said, you didn't state whether or not you wanted to be part of the draft. . .and there's no rules, either. Whether I join or not will depend on both of those.

Carmine Sword Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I was under the assumption that it was just standard draft rules. Seth is banned; the lords, Tethys, and Myhrr are free for everyone, snake style drafting (12344321), etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eclipse Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 There's a nice little sticky in the Draft forums that have a set of rules that can be copypasta'd. That's why the lack of rules is odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaze The Great Posted January 20, 2015 Author Share Posted January 20, 2015 (edited) The order for the draft is as follows: Blaze, Marty, MJ, Carmine, Carmine, MJ, Marty, Blaze, Blaze and so on Do we want to start drafting tonight? Otherwise we probably need to wait until Thursday. Edited January 20, 2015 by Blaze The Great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmine Sword Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Welp. I don't think I have much chance of winning now. I'm busy for the rest of the day, so tomorrow or Thursday would be preferable for me. What route though? How much people want Cormag or Duessel is kind of route dependent.

Blaze The Great Posted January 21, 2015 Author Share Posted January 21, 2015 It says in that rule set Ephraim's, but I think that that is pretty unfair. For instance, if someone drafted Saleh and was forced to Ephraim's. I think we can choose which one we want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartyTheDemonSlayer Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I'd actually prefer Ephraim's, because if you didn't draft Vanessa or Tana you'd lose a bunch of turns in Chapter 10 by being unable to flyer skip. I'm willing to start choosing characters tonight, and people can just respond whenever they're able to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmine Sword Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I think you only lose 3 turns or so going around the long way in Chapter 10 on Eirika Route. If everyone wants to start now that's fine. I'm only around for about another 45 minutes though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBM Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Most FE8 drafts allow people to choose which route they want to go to, which generally means that the first three people (Vanessa, Franz, Tana) go to Eirika route because it's normally faster and the fourth person is screwed unless they get Cormag, Duessel, and a good warper and then do Ephraim route, and even then they'll probably lose unless they play better than the people ahead of them. That's kind of just how it is, and the fact that there are only so many different teams with which you can viably win assuming a relatively equal skill level is why drafting kind of died out over the last year. If you look at draft choices in the very first few drafts (in the second ever FE7 draft I first-picked Priscilla) and then draft choices a year later, they'd evolved and improved greatly, as people became more experienced and realized which characters were more useful, and also just became better at playing. Then if you look at them a year after that, they were more or less the same. People played through mostly all the choices and got bored.

Even the disparity between Vanessa and Franz is pretty big IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
